Bitcoin & šŸ«‚ Oh and dimly trying to think through interesting issues. I think that I don’t have a right to force you to do anything other than not harm me or others. Seems like most people I interact with in the real world disagree with this statement. To be fair.. the devil is in definition of ā€œharmā€.

Not to mention that it’s a thermodynamically unstable molecule. Will just end up as graphite.

Starts with ā€œI don’t understand bitcoin at allā€

I feel for him though. I’m gunna start having nightmares that what I bought is actually just sitting as USDC somehow.

Yeah, it’s easy to miss but just because a country bears the same name as a historical country doesn’t mean it’s the same country.

If you’re wanting to decentralized but Nostr supporting, you can get a builder account at nostr.build and upload videos there. If you want it to be decentralized, yeah I think torrenting is the way, but I don’t know much about torrent.

Nostr relays sorta host files for free, but only the tiny note files.

I didn’t make why that’s clear to bitcoin as obvious as I thought I did. But think softwar stuff.

Asymmetric cryptography makes it possible for us to keep our bitcoin safe because it raises the cost of executing an unapproved transfer to the point of infeasibility - even for nation states!

Similarly, the more people that claim to have orbited earth, the higher the cost is of keeping them all quiet. At some point even nation states can’t maintain the ruse.

Fallacy, good sir. You're trying to argue from a position of incredulity. How big of a lie would you tell if I offered you $50 million? Do you think it would be difficult to find 600 people in the world who would take a lie to their grave for $1 mill?

There's actually 6 questions now. You'd have to go on and discuss these, because it's far too much to cover over text, and I want it recorded for posterity. Go back and watch people try and answer them. It's quite entertaining.

So you might be thinking that I was making an appeal to authority, but I’m not. What I’m doing is making a comparison to bitcoin. I’m saying that after a certain number of people see the truth, the cost to keep them all quiet becomes infeasible. So then it’s an open question of how much money or threat of violence is available, and how long until you run into that one psycho who’s willing to suffer whatever they can do to them to tell the world the truth.

Yeah, I’ll check out those questions

I read once of an idea to have a reality show where some flat earthers are given like 50 bitcoin to travel around the South Pole, or go to the moon, or whatever they want. They are in charge. That seems like it’d be a win win. If they are able to produce compelling evidence, then great, if not, great, and either way one party would be wrong and that would be great entertainment.

I thought I saw some flat earthers try out shining a ray of light far away and had to adjust it down as expected by a spherical earth šŸ¤”

Is there a test that most flat earthers agree would be death to their theory?
